LUKE 11-11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, um wait, you're even more evil than that. Never mind, my words are wasted on you.

Don't worry, your daughter will be able to express herself again someday when she chooses to park your hateful ass in the most miserable nursing home available. You've made your choice: Enjoy dying alone and unloved.

If you don't want to provide for your children, then don't have children. The normal thing for children to do, when they grow up, is to go against their parents, it's a part of the liberation process. They might well come back to your point of view later. The chance for that is larger if you have respected their choice, which includes not punishing them for their choice.

"You have NO obligation to provide for, whatever the circumstance, someone who votes against your financial interest."
Communist should have hired conservatives to fight the class war on their side, they are so fucking good at it.

"Hope she likes “expressing herself” as she waits tables for next semester’s tuition (and her books, healthcare, car insurance, rent, food...hahaha)."
Don't be suprised if she doesn't talk to you on Christmess, or doesn't even come home anymore.

Wow. I'm so disgusted by about half the people in that thread Free Republic just dropped from merely far-right and groan-inducing to barely worthy of acknowledgement anymore. So many arguing to vindictively control or penalize family member votes by withholding monetary support or charity, eugh! There's still hope, the other half or so are actually still decent HUMANS who grasp that family and charity should not be ruled by political disagreements before there's been any tangible fallout (and even then, who's to say it'd be sunshine and roses if the other guy won?). Gaah, and I'm sure many on both sides worship the constitution, yet certain people are conveniently forgetting the part where it makes voting a RIGHT TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL.

Unrelated, one person's signature is "Get thee behind me, Liberal"! I'm sure he means he's the one protecting the country with his manly man guns and all because no liberal ever serves in the army, but I'm still sensing a double entendre for a gay fantasy here. Hot, I think I just got an idea for a yaoi plot.

Hahahahaha! That's a good one! Did you hear the one about the daughter who was denied any college funds by her parents and then decided that after her parents retired she stuck them in the cheapest old folks' home she could find? That one was great!

Do yourself a favor and get started on creating your own web of love and support - your mother mother obviously won't do anything to help there. A family that consists of friends and their families beats having to spend holiday breaks with people who loathe you, though. And find a sweet guy or girl, too, so you'll have even more reason to celebrate what really matters during the holiday season.
